Lots of talk going around that the 175 furloughs are to make room for nearly 200 AE Captains going to AA. Its likely a legal arbitration that is forcing AA to provide "room" for AE Captains. It is something that should have happened in 2007 but didnt. Unfortunate for the AA furloughs, but possibly should have been done properly years ago.
